The delegates to the Democratic

In the matter OF senatorial preferences

by the heat yesterday afternoon and
had 10 be taken home. There were,
however, no serious results.
The melon crop in this section is said
to be an excellent one this season. Few

There is already a good deal Of talk
about candidates for Office at the mu-

about the legislative candidates this

A FOOLISH ACT
RESULTS IN THE EXPLOSION OF A KEG
OF POWDER.
A Humber Of Men Very ssrioutly Burned
at Blue Ridge Springs.
rsneeIsl telegram to the pIspatch.l

ROANOKE, Va, July 27.-During
the progress of the storm yesterday
afternoon q number OF men sought
shelter from the rain in the porch of
MIR. w. Spickard, at Blue Ridge Springs.
A keg of powder exploded and burned
and more or less seriously injured nine
persons. 1t seems that some men
were engaged in blasting rock in a
well being dug on Mr. Spickard's
premises, and when the storm COM
menced the keg of powder and some
fuses were carried into the porch.
Among the fuses was one which had
failed to ignite in the well. A Young
brakeman named John Chapman took
this mp, and, remarking that it
would not burn, applied a light
ed match to it and threw it
into the top of the keg OF gunpowder.
A colorcd man jumped up, and as he
did so the fuse, or some sparks from it,
iQnited the powder in the kcg, and
terrible explosion followed. Chapman
was blown out Of the porch a distance
of twenty feet, and another young
man named Henry Thompson was
blown over the railing into the yard.
Seven others, three Of them white
and four colored, were blown in various
directions, and all OF them severely
burned about the face, hands, and
body. The injuries of Chapman and
Thompson were the most serious, the
latter being at last accounts in critical
condition. DR.. Brown, resident physl-
clan Of Blue-Ridge Springs, and DR..
Hulnmell, a visitor there, heard the
explosion, and at once went to the as
sistance o. the sufferers. Drs. deter and
Tyre, Of Corners Springs. We're also
sent for. Ned Clemens, Vernon Nc
Clure, and Sam. Fuqua, three men who
happened to be in the porch when the
explosion occurred, We're severely
burned, but are not dangerously hurt.
Constant Pruente, colored man, was
badly burned abouts the shoulders,
arms, and on the left side. The names
Of the three other colored men could
not be asccrtained.

The writer has not been here for n
wear, and the year has done a good
deal for this place. 1t has gotten to
be the second town on the Eastern
Shore, ranking now next to Onancock,
and the only port where steamers, rail-
road, and sailing-vessels all contribute
TO its prosperity and daily enlivenment.
The shipments are getting to be very
extensive here, and quite little army
of railroad-men and clerks are required
to keep the ball in motion. In the
single item Of Irish potatoes, 10000
barrels have during this season been
shipped from this station, and Mr..
Sherman. on his truck-farm near here,
sent of 5000 barrels OF kale, which
petted him, on that crop alone, over
SIS, 000.
Cutie a number OF good business
houses and pretty residences have been
recently completed and others are now
going up among them the large and
handsome Arlington Hotel, large bar
refractory, and another packing
house, which will make three or four
here. The oyster trade will be quite
an important one, and the place prom
Uses in time to rival Crisfield, Md, in
oyster packing.
The town has newspaper tOo-the
Cape Charles Pionetr-and an enter
prising editor, Dir. Built Fityhugh,
who is working for the town with all
his might and who ever heard of a good
town being made without tre help OF a
newspaper ?
Even the hers have caught the per
vading enterprise of the place, and
one, q snow-white Legborn, has for the
last week been laying two eggs day
for her master, Captain Pat Savage, the
railroad agent here. TO be sure that
there was no mistake about it the hen
was shut mp all day, but an egg ap-
poared in tie morning and another in
the evening all the same.
Fish are biting splendidly. / never
saw larger shsepshead, trout, and
founders caught with the hook. One
of the guests Mt the Arlington, Mr.. W.
w. Hutchcson, slipped out before
breakfast the other morning and IN
fifteen minutes he caught two fine
,hecpshesd, weighing six and twelve
pounds each. and a third one soon after
hit his hook in two. He says the
twelve ponder was hard one to land
and almost pulled him out of the boat.
Your Richmond fishermen ought to
run down here and try the sport.
